Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Wellman, IA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Wellman would include detoxification treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
